Strengths

• Lone concern is handling the superquick NFL edge rusher. Foot speed and quickness are very good, but not elite.
• A smooth athlete with terrific mobility and footwork, staying light on his feet. Has the lateral range, natural shuffle movements, and lower body quickness to mirror speed rushers.
• Above-average football smarts and general intelligence. Plays with a nasty streak. Solid character and work ethic.
• Quick feet to get inside of defensive tackles to wall off inside and reach linebackers at the second level.
• Finds defenders with his hands immediately and gets feet moving to engage and sustain.

Weaknesses

• Too often is pushed back into the pocket during pass protection becaus~ he bends at the waist rather than at the knees. Relies more on precise angles than physicality in the running game.
• Flashes the ability to move his man with his hands, but is not yet consistent in this area.
• Loses leverage battles and plays with high pad level. Can be late off the snap.
• A short-area blocker with limited range and doesn't consistently get to the second level. Will play undisciplined at times, especially in space. Lacks a finishing attitude.
• Stronger pass rushers can get under his pads and steer him aside.
